Cucumber Dill Salad

Cucumber Dill Salad blends thinly sliced cucumbers with a tangy mixture of apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, sugar, and fresh dill. The cucumbers are salted and drained beforehand to remove excess moisture, resulting in a crisp texture. After marinating in the cooled vinegar mixture, fresh dill is added for herbal brightness, yielding a refreshing and slightly sweet salad that complements meals nicely.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium cucumber sliced
  • ½ cup of water
  • 5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • dill generous pinch chopped fresh
  • salt pinch
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander. On each layer, sprinkle salt. Let the cucumbers drain in the sink and sweat for an hour.
  2. Heat the water, vinegar (both kinds), and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside and let cool.
  3. Wash the cucumbers off until the salt is gone. Place in a container and cover with the vinegar/sugar mixture. Let marinate for at least two hours.
  4. When ready to serve, cut dill on top of the cucumbers and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for consistent cucumber slices and adjust thickness as preferred.
  • Drain the salted cucumbers well to prevent sogginess and maintain texture.
  • Allow the vinegar and sugar marinade to cool completely before adding cucumbers to keep them crisp.
